CLEARFIELD — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is alerting area drivers to a crossing closure and upcoming railroad work on Route 446 in McKean County.

The Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad will be working June 25 through 29 to replace a railroad crossing surface on Route 446 between Coryville and Larabee, near the New York state line.

The crossing will be closed starting Monday, as crews remove the existing surface. Through the week, June 26, 27, and 28, work will include reconstruction of the subbase, construction of the new crossing surface, and leveling. Paving of the new crossing surface is scheduled for June 29.

A temporary detour will be in place to move traffic around the work zone. The official detour is lengthy and will utilize Route 46 to Smethport, Route 6 to Port Allegany, Route 155 to Larabee, and Route 446. Drivers familiar with the area may choose to use alternate routes.

All work is weather dependent and will take place during daylight hours.
